mobile.de, one of the most famous german auto market sites jsut had a facelift. From a simple site to a web2.0 design.

language barriers
How do you tell an Englishman that you do not speak German on the streets of Berlin? In French, of course.

great PR for digg
If you look at digg.com, you cannot overlook the amount of bullshit on the front page.
So, hearing that it raised another millions for whatever is pointless. That is not news, it’s PR. Digg will be a story when they will sell the site. Otherwise, it’s just a stupid site with stupid voters (do I have to point out that all voters are dumb?) doing everything to increase the price.

renting a car in Berlin is hard
Took me half an hour to rent a car. No sites, no usability, no English, no cars, no car details…
How do you want to rent a car to foreigners if you do not have a website in English? And why do you send me the order details in German?

Windows Live Writer updated
I like WLW. It’s among the few Microsoft products I really enjoy using (along with windows xp and movie maker).
Recently, they’ve updated it. And not in a good way. I remember the times Microsoft office started. It was basic and easy to use. Now it resembles adobe acrobat reader, full of features and a XXX megabytes install kit. WLW is turning into that. Not improved, but bloated.
For the Writer team, here is a list of what I want in the next update of wlw:
- to be able to write tags without extra clicks. I don;t want to press F2 every time I want to use tags for my 5 blogs
- not to have that ugly theme. the versions before had the possibility to choose colors. now, I choose and it does nothing.
- more items in the “drafts” and “recently posted” section.
And some pie. And a solo installer.
